Well..........that's our first week over, and what a week it's been! Gorgeous though he looks he can be a real monster, nothing is safe from his inquisitiveness or teeth. Coats, shoes, rugs, cupboards, chairs, you name it he's tried to chew it! One minute he looks adorably cuddly the next minute he's dashing in to chew at your trouser leg, before disappearing at high speed so that you can't reprimanded him.
My partner starts work at an unearthly hour, so i'm getting up at 5.30am to walk the pup, very quiet at that time! and i do get more done in a day, but a lie in would be nice..
Not all negative comments though, Shadow will sit and go down on command (so long as there aren't too many distractions!) walks nicely on the lead most of the time and gives the warmest of greetings when he's been on his own for a while. He's also very good if he has to be shut away, but there is no chance of using a duster/broom or anything else that moves while he's around!!
Might be a bit of a shock for him, but he starts puppy classes next week.
Went for a walk last night and someone was shooting nearbye, Shadow never flinched, my last dog a Bullmastiff was petrified of bangs and he once ran away when he heard someone shooting, so really hoping Shadow will tolerate loud noises, bonfire night here is a real nightmare.
Only lost my Bullmastiff Max at the beginning of June, very suddenly from liver failure, really didn't think we would have another dog, but a house just isn't a home without one...
